GAOA VALE DISTRICT OFFICE BUILDING RENOVATIONS D-B

The U.S. Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management, through its National Operations Center, is seeking industry input for the design-build renovation and addition of the BLM Vale District Office located at 100 Oregon Street, Vale, Oregon. This pre-solicitation under solicitation number 140L0626R0009 targets commercial and institutional building construction services under NAICS code 236220 and is structured as a design-build procurement, with an anticipated notice to proceed in December 2026 and full performance completion expected within 720 days thereafter. The project includes the renovation of a 16,320-square-foot existing single-story office building and the addition of a 1,051-square-foot front extension, along with associated site work, utility upgrades, topographical and geotechnical surveys, and inventory of government-owned systems furniture stored in Troutdale and Vale, Oregon. Design deliverables must adhere to progressive phases—Pre-Design, Schematic Design, Design Development, and Construction Documents—with draft submissions at each stage required to be 70 to 80 percent complete and fully coordinated to enable meaningful government review. All design and construction must comply with the 2024 International Building, Plumbing, and Mechanical Codes, ASHRAE 90.1-2019 Appendix G for energy modeling, the US National CAD Standard for drawings, and AWS D1.1 for structural steel welding. The contractor must also meet indoor air quality standards using SMACNA guidelines, install CAT 6 telecommunications infrastructure, and incorporate ADA and ABA accessibility requirements into all site elements, signage, and ramps. Contractors are required to submit comprehensive documentation including MasterFormat-organized specifications, coordinated design and construction schedules, as-constructed drawings, and an operations and maintenance manual upon project closeout. Monthly reporting is mandated via a concise one-page email update to the Contracting Officer, Contracting Officer’s Representative, and technical representative, detailing the status of all work tasks as started or complete. Additionally, a Microsoft Teams collaboration site must be established for communication. Daily quality control reports must be maintained by the Quality Control Supervisor, and all test reports must be completed by the individuals performing the tests, subject to government-directed testing locations. The contractor assumes full responsibility for temporary climate control until final acceptance, must install new air filters prior to final inspection, and ensure equipment warranties commence only after final acceptance.
